Jeff -

Big story! Wow. I was going to go boating on Saturday too, but ended up 250 miles south in Cincinnati.

Anyway, glad to hear you and your dad made it back safely.

Question:

Could you have hugged the Ohio shoreline and quartered the seas toward Toledo and then run up in the lee of Michigan?

It could have been hours and hours and was probably better to have a friend pick you up...just wondering if that was an option.

I have to say, that as much as I LOVE your dad's Guardian and the T-TOP, the RADAR ARCH on Gambler makes it seem like it would be more difficult to be pitched from the boat....and side railings are nice as well...no railings on that Guardian!

Conditions like that have me thinking "Jackline" as well.

Glad you guys made it.

Dave
